i think i might buy a console system by the end of the year, i'm trying to decide which one i should go with. Xbox seems to be more shoot'em up games and sports games. I love rpg and stragety which i dont' know if the playstation will keep it's dominace in the field. Yeah they got Final Fantasy series, but since the last great one (tactics) I haven't held much confidence (though the new one looks good). WII will be the cheapest, with 2 kids and a nagging wife I"m constantly strapped for cash, and i think it would have more kid friendly games as well.
thoughts? |

I don't know about legality, but I do know that at least 100 units were "disappeared" before delivery. Which was probably less than Sony was expecting to write off, and I'll be there are warehouse/shipping folks who will make a pretty profit before Christmas. Not that this kinda thing happens all the time.... |
